Antique Floral Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1880s Rug

$4,125.00

Small Scatter Size Rugs (3.03ft x 5.04ft), Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece, likely originating from the Ningxia region of China, is a testament to the enduring quality and sophisticated design found in the finest examples of antique rugs. The deep indigo field provides a dramatic, atmospheric backdrop for the stylized iconography that defines its unique character. The saturated dye work results in a rich, dark blue color rugs field, characteristic of late 19th-century Chinese weaving. Against this striking backdrop, the central design elements—powerful, sinuous dragons and stylized ruyi clouds—emerge in contrasting, faded hues of apricot, ivory, and salmon, showcasing a beautiful patina achieved through over a century of age.
